Apnea time limit regulation for European Aquatics junior artistic swimming events has been approved by the EA Bureau.
For the safety of the athletes, there will be a rule in junior category competitions setting the time limits for apnea (head down under hips level) for all free hybrids (not the technical required elements/TRE’s).
A base mark will be applied to an element where a free hybrid exceeds an apnea time of 25 seconds.
This will apply to all junior events starting May 2025.
